May 5th, 2026, we were proud to celebrate the 4th graduating class of our Youth Docent Program! This important initiative is made possible through our continued partnership with the Netter Center for Community Partnerships at the University of Pennsylvania.

These remarkable young leaders have spent the year deepening their understanding of Paul Robeson’s life and legacy while developing their voices as tour guides, storytellers, and community ambassadors. Through their dedication, they have helped bring history to life for visitors while building leadership, confidence, and public speaking skills of their own.
